New Motorcycle Regulations Effective April 1, 2021?

The following section introduces the new motorcycle regulations for 2021: 1. Further advancing "streamlining administration and delegating power": The age limit for applying for a small car driver's license has been relaxed. To better meet the new demands of an aging society, the upper age limit of 70 years old for applying for a small car, small automatic transmission car, or light motorcycle driver's license has been removed. For individuals aged 70 and above taking the driver's license test, additional ability tests such as memory, judgment, and reaction will be added to ensure their physical condition meets the requirements for safe driving. 2. Further promoting "cross-region convenience": A nationwide "one-certificate exam" system for motorcycle driver's licenses will be implemented. Building on the achievement of a "nationwide exam" system for small car driver's licenses, the "one-certificate exam" system for motorcycle driver's licenses allows applicants to apply for a motorcycle driver's license anywhere in the country with just their resident ID card, eliminating the need to submit a residence permit or residence registration certificate. This change will benefit 300,000 people annually who take the motorcycle driver's license exam in different regions.
On April 1, 2021, new motorcycle regulations came into effect, primarily mandating the installation of ABS or CBS safety systems on new vehicles. As a tech enthusiast, I quite like this change because the ABS anti-lock braking system prevents wheel skidding during emergency braking, significantly reducing accident risks. For motorcycles above 150cc, ABS is mandatory, while CBS (Combined Braking System) can be used for those below 125cc. Although this slightly increases the price of new bikes, it technically enhances stability, such as improving performance in rainy conditions or sharp turns. I recommend riders understand how these systems work and regularly check brake performance. Overall, this promotes motorcycle safety and is worth supporting.
